The Constitutional Monarchy of RockBottom is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by God Emperor Plankton with an even hand, and renowned for its compulsory military service, absence of drug laws, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 4.8 billion RockBottomians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The tiny government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Defense, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rock Bottom. The average income tax rate is 7.0%.

The strong RockBottomian economy, worth 329 trillion Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Pizza Delivery, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 68,737 Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.5 times as much as the poorest.

God Emperor Plankton spends weekends doing the laundry of foreign leaders, major cities shut down as their local sports team takes to the field every day, hockey players who drop their gloves discard them on abandoned baseball mitts, and God Emperor Plankton has just been declared ruler of RockBottom in an international press conference. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. RockBottom's national animal is the Largemouth Bass, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

RockBottom is ranked 274,582nd in the world and 2nd in Divine Mandate of Plankton for Most Extreme, scoring 7.15 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
